Vaio wireless cuts out all the time - AARRGGHH!!
Hi
I have a Sony Vaio FS 215Z with an inbuilt wireless card, it connects to wireless networks no problem at all, but for some reason it just suddenly loses the wireless network for no reason at all!! The network is fine as we have another laptop that has no problem at all.
When I turn the wireless off and on again and re-search for the network it reconnects, but this happens about once every half an hour.
Please can anyone help this annoying little problem!!
Many Thanks

Have you tried updating the laptop's wireless drivers to the latest available?

Also, even though other laptops work fine on the wireless connection, I'd also try changing the router's channel.

And If someone you know has a wireless card that fits your laptop try that to see if you driver is bad. typically, its something simple like the driver.
